A shiny screen-printed CD in a 6-panel card case with exclusive artwork and a prose poem sort of thing in the way of liner notes. Look at it and think of the cool waters and monolithic pines of scenic North Idaho.

Cassette + Digital Album
This is a sky-blue, music-grade cassette made of recycled plastic inside of a clear case, with artwork specially redesigned for the odd strictures of the J-card format. An impractical, perishable object which could be nice to have around in your limited time on Earth.

lyrics
Cracked glass laundromats in strip malls.
Maples fading in the late fall.
"Guess who just got back today?"
They don't remember you anyway.
Forms devoid of any function,
lonely lingering conjunction
between black redacted lines
inside the minutes of your mind.
Hello, Hayden.
Hayden, hello.
Wake up somewhere that you used to live
buzzing with thousands of false positives.
The years that intervened
were just a long and boring dream.
Stop for lunch down at the Super 1.
Pray you don't run into anyone
who'd know you from before;
you're just a ghost now, nothing more.
Hello, Hayden.
Hayden, hello.

I'm in awe of the stories Eric tells with such an economy of words here. The magnificent arrangements and weighty vocals, which seem always about to fade into sigh or groan, also help. Harrison Lemke
I made a video game, and this is the soundtrack by my Casiotone guitar pop / ambient / experimental music project. That's a weird digression but sometimes life is like that. Harrison Lemke
